We can't just show up and think we're going to win. We're having a hard time with guys out and all that, but so are they. No matter who's out there, we're the kind of team that has to give full effort or we can get beat by anybody.
We still have a chance to finish as high as second, and definitely third, although there are a lot of tie-breakers involved. But we just have to go home and play both those teams and beat them.
We had a good lead on New Mexico State down there and got into a transition game with them and they beat us. Louisiana Tech has always played us tough here. We've got our work cut out.
They had the hustle, they had a good game plan, and they beat the ... out of us. That's all I can say.
They have nothing to play for, but that could work both ways. If they find the motivation and really want to get after it, they can beat any team in the league.
They can score a lot of points, they want that up-tempo game. We can't get into a between-the free-throw-line kind of game, because that's where they beat you out there in the middle. We've got to play good solid defense and try to keep their penetration down.
I figured they would come out flat after getting blown out, but they come back and beat a very good Nevada team. Now we know we're going to have our hands full.
